MIXING

After production, mixing is the most crucial step towards achieving a polished distribution-ready song. All the separate elements are combined into a single stereo channel, forming 90% of the finished product. A good ear and an acoustically treated studio are essential to ensure a clean, well-balanced result with proper dynamics. Beyond that, a seasoned engineer knows how to enhance the mix to create an exciting stereo soundscape with the right position and presence for each element. A well-done mix is truly the secret to achieving a great master.

Upload Your Rough Mix

The best way for me to get an idea of your project and the work involved is to hear it!

Upload your rough mix(es) to a private Soundcloud playlist (preferred), a personal cloud or a file transfer service.
When you fill out the mixing request form make sure to include your link.

Contact and Communication

Fill out the mixing quote form with the details of your project. I’ll contact you soon with a quote for my work and answer any questions you might have. We’ll discuss your project goals and schedule to ensure timely delivery.

Preparing Your Files

Your audio must be correctly exported from your DAW. Most importantly your files should be:

– well named
– exported at 24-bit minimum
– and audio should never pass -0.1dB on any channel.

To make things simple I’ve created an easy to follow checklist.

Uploading Your Files

Now that the files are exported it’s time to put your hard work into my trusted hands. I’ll provide you with a direct upload link to the studio’s cloud. If you prefer, you can send me a personal link or use a file transfer service.

The Mixing Process

Once I receive your files I’ll go through all the elements to ensure they are free of issues and begin mixing. If the song can be improved by reworking or replacing certain elements I’ll communicate this to you and may ask you to re-export the channel with some or all effects removed.

Revisions and Final Details

The first file I send you will be titled “Draft 1”. Along with it, I may also send some notes and questions to help further improve your mix. After receiving your feedback I’ll finalize all the remaining details and send you a second draft for approval. Generally, most mixes won’t require more than 1 or 2 revisions.

Payment and Delivery

Once you’re satisfied with the mix I’ll provide you with an invoice. Payment is possible via bank transfer, Paypal, or Wise. With both Paypal and Wise you can use your credit card as a payment method. After payment is confirmed, you’ll receive a link to download your full mix package which includes:

– 24-bit Stereo WAV Pre-Master (32 bit available free of charge upon request)
– 24-bit Stereo WAV Stem Package (all individually processed channels, useful for remix production)
– 320 kbps Stereo MP3 Demo (full song, digitally mastered and ready to be sent to labels)

Please note: Payment is made in euros (€). If you’re paying in a different currency it is advisable to use Wise as they offer the lowest fees with real market exchange rate (they don’t charge money on exchange like most other services).

Since mixing projects vary in size it's not possible to create a standardized price for this service. The amount of work depends on the number of channels in a project and how many of those channels require special care. To manage this, each project is quoted based on the work involved.

Smaller projects start at a minimum of €120* while bigger projects can range from €200* and up.
Contact me to get an estimate for your project.

Discounts are possible for multiple projects or when packaged with other services.

*VAT not included.
VAT-exempt payment is possible for customers outside of Germany with a valid VAT-ID (or equivalent Business Registration Number)

MASTERING

The final step before distribution, mastering is designed to finalize your song and establish the best possible sound. The audio is carefully analyzed, existing issues are repaired and then further processing is done to add the fullness, depth and loudness you’d expect from an industry-standard release. Before delivery, each song is checked on multiple reference monitors to ensure they translate well to sound systems of all sizes. Mastered for iTunes (MFiT) and Spotify specific masters are also available to provide the best quality over streaming platforms.

Contact and Communication

Fill out the mastering order form with the details of your project. You’ll see your price at the bottom before submitting the form. I’ll contact you with a confirmation and answer any questions you might have. We’ll discuss your project goals and schedule to maintain timely delivery.

LIVE-SET MASTERING

This specified mastering service is intended for recordings of DJ sets and live shows. The entire performance is balanced and dynamics are controlled while also bringing loudness up to industry standards. Special attention is also paid to fixing common mistakes that often occur in live situations. This translates an “out of the mixer” recording into a more refined listening experience for your fans.

Contact

Fill out the quote form and select the Live-Set Mastering checkbox. If you have a link to your file, please include it with your message. Make sure to include any other details relevant to your project. I’ll contact you to confirm your order and provide you with payment details.

For best results, your recording should have a bit depth of at least 16-bits (24 bit preferable) and never pass -0.1dB in volume. Set your recording volume so the loudest peaks register around -6dB for DJ mixes or -12dB for live performance. This provides you with a safe amount of headroom.

 

If your recording is split into multiple files please make sure they are named in chronological order.

Payment

Payment is possible via bank transfer, Paypal, or Wise. With both Paypal and Wise you can use your credit card as a payment method.

If for any reason you aren’t satisfied with the result I will refund your payment.

Live-Set Mastering costs €30* for recordings up to 2 hours long.
For longer recordings, there is an extra charge of €10* per hour.

For live band performances or multi-channel recordings prices may vary, please contact me.

Creative concepts will be ironed out along with your ultimate targets such as intended labels or demographics. This will help ensure an efficient and effective direction.

 

Once in the studio, I’ll bring your ideas to life and send previews for your feedback. If you’re in the Berlin area we may set up in-studio listening sessions to hash out details. Online listening sessions are also possible over Zoom and Skype.

 

After the song is complete I will finalize the mix and create a demo (a listening version which can be sent to labels for consideration). If you request it, I’ll also create finished masters for your project at this point.

Delivery

When the project is wrapped up I’ll send you a package that contains a:

– Pre-Master
– Demo

If masters are requested they will be delivered in 16 and 24-bit versions along with a 320kbps MP3.
Streaming masters and DDP masters for CD manufacturing are also available.
